Our Adoption Process
To ensure that our cats find loving, responsible, and committed homes, Cat Noir Rescue has a thorough screening process for all potential adopters. We reserve the right to decline any adoption applications if we determine it is in the best interest of the animal.
The first step is to complete our Adoption Application Form, which can be submitted online or via a downloadable PDF upon request. Please note that submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt a specific cat or kitten.
If your application is approved, we will arrange a meet and greet, giving you the opportunity to interact with the cat or kitten you’re interested in. Following this, if both parties are ready to proceed, you'll be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee to finalize the process.
Lastly, a home visit or the home delivery of your new cat or kitten will be required to complete the adoption. This step helps us ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
Adoption Fee & What It Covers
The Kitten Rescue adoption fee is $150 for a kitten or cat up to 10 years old, and $100 for each additional kitten or cat to the same household ($250 if you adopt a pair). Cats above 10 years old have a fee reduction of 50%, for an adoption fee of $75 each.
All of our cats have already been:
Spayed or neutered
Vaccinated – with at least one FVRCP vaccination
Treated for fleas
Dewormed
Microchipped
If you adopt a kitten, depending on the kitten’s age, the FVRCP vaccine series may or may not be complete (as kitten vaccines are given 3–4 weeks apart up until the age of 14 weeks). If the vaccine series is not yet complete at the time of adoption, it will be the adopter’s responsibility to complete the series.
Our adoption fees do not cover the average cost of our rescues. We always provide any necessary medical care for the cats and kittens we take in, such as surgery for injuries or congenital problems, x-rays, blood panels, fecal tests, and treatment for upper respiratory infections and viruses. Donations above and beyond the adoption fee are greatly appreciated and help us continue to rescue the cats and kittens most in need.
Once you’ve adopted a new pet into your family, all veterinary expenses are your responsibility for the life of your pet.
Our Return Policy
If for any reason you wish or need to return a cat you’ve adopted from us, you can do so within two weeks for a full refund of the adoption fee.
After that — be it months or years later — if you need to give up your Kitten Rescue cat or kitten for any reason, we require that you must return him or her to Kitten Rescue. We won’t be able to refund the adoption fee, but we will place him/her in a new home. This policy is in place because we don’t ever want our kitties to end up on the streets or at a city shelter ever again.
